How to get Fertilizer in Arc Raiders

I don't know about you, but I've always ignored Fertilizer in Arc Raiders. Until now, it's had no purpose besides recycling into Assorted Seeds or selling it for a measly 1,000 coins. But with the Riven Tides update, we all suddenly need to get a handful of Fertilizer for the Avian Alarm project.

More specifically, you'll need ten Fertilizer, which doesn't sound like a lot at first, but now that everyone and their dog wants it, it's going to take a few matches. But if that's what your birds want, then that's what they'll get.

The best place to find Fertilizer is in plant beds in the Hydroponic Dome Complex on Dam Battlegrounds or Village on Blue Gate. Both of these locations have multiple planters, which look like bathtubs with a bunch of dirt packed in. On top of that dirt, there's a chance a pile of Fertilizer can spawn—it blends in quite well, though.

Three domes, each with multiple planters. It's a great location to farm Fertilizer, but that's also why it's usually already been looted by someone who got there before you.

This area has ruined greenhouses with planters, and in my experience there are fewer players hunting for Fertilizer here. There's a good spot almost slap bang in the middle of the POI, near the pharmacy.

Fertilizer is also a possible spawn inside the wicker basket containers you find dotted around the maps during the Lush Blooms modifier, though this map condition only appears every few hours.

Likewise, you can also find it while Beachcombing on Riven Tides. This is a good option since you'll be able to find the Model Ships you need to donate to the project as well.
